UFC Fight Night 213 faceoff: Calvin Kattar, Arnold Allen size each other up for main event

LAS VEGAS – Calvin Kattar and Arnold Allen got their first official opportunity to face off prior to Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 213 main event.

After making weight on Friday morning ahead of the card, which streams on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex, Kattar (23-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Allen (18-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) engaged in a traditional staredown in front of the media.

Both men are professional and kept things cordial, but the intensity was there as they came face-to-face.

Check it out in the video above.

Come fight night, six-time UFC headliner Kattar will attempt to rebound from his split decision loss to Josh Emmett earlier this year. Allen, for his part, has gone unbeaten through his first nine UFC appearances, and will attempt to continue his streak when he serves as as a main event in the octagon for the first time.
